Pixar Reportedly Developing 'Monsters, Inc. 3' as Sequel Slate Takes Shape

The early-stage project surfaced in a Wall Street Journal profile outlining a sequel‑heavy slate balanced by new originals.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets cite the Wall Street Journal in reporting that a third Monsters, Inc. film is in development at Pixar, with no director, cast, plot, or release date disclosed.
  • The same reporting places The Incredibles 3 on a tentative 2028 timetable and Coco 2 in 2029, with Disney holding 2028 theatrical slots, though none of these dates are officially confirmed.
  • Pixar is also developing original projects, including Ono Ghost Market—retooled from a streaming series into a feature—and the studio’s first musical from Turning Red director Domee Shi.
  • Disney and Pixar have not issued a comprehensive public confirmation listing creative teams or firm release details for the newly reported projects.
  • Coverage links the sequel push to recent box-office momentum from Inside Out 2 and Hoppers and notes a Monstropolis-themed land under construction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios targeted for 2027–2028.
